Hi David, What do you think about this set-up? Is it better spec wise (8 ohms etc) than the Pioneers (6 ohms)? http://www.hsuresear...hybrid3pkg.html - $1139.00 Its the Hybrid 3 3.1
And the vtf woofer?

I've never personally listened to HSU speakers, so all I can tell you is that they have a good reputation online. I'd search out reviews and see how they stack up. Check Soundandvision.com, CNET, and maybe do an Internet search for reviews.

I've ruled out the Denon in favor of the Yamaha cuz that model Denon got some bad reviews; although, it's tough to know if reviews are valid or competitor plants, ugh! The Denon has greater output at 135 and 105 wpc but the Yamaha has 7.2 rather than Denon's 7.1.

How does 7.1 differ from 7.2?

I wouldn't put all my faith in reviews, unless they are on pro AV sights. HomeTheaterReview.com, Sound and Vision and a few others would be the reviews I would give more weight.

7.1 vs 7.2 has to do with subwoofer outputs. the 7 means up to seven main audio channels. The .1 means one sub output and the .2 means two sub outputs.
